My Work

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work as a therapist, supervisor, and faculty member at Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology—where I teach clinical psychology—is getting to know people and supporting them through life, step by step, regardless of who they are or where they are on their path.  I look forward to meeting you and, if fortunate, walking beside you for a while, wherever you may be.

I work from the conviction that you are the author of your life, and that my role is not to write your story for you but to be a careful, engaged reader of it — asking questions that open space, noticing what’s been overlooked, helping to bring forward what the problem-saturated version has obscured.

Our challenges and joys are experienced together, not in isolation, flowing between us. When we come together in shared space, it unlocks certain feelings that stay hidden when we're alone. This openness can enable us to live genuinely, without guilt or shame, and reduce anxiety and worry. It creates space for joy, love, belonging, and the gradual rewriting of a life that reflects your core values.

Some of the work may include:

• The shifting of identity.

• The ending of what was.

• The forms of boundary.

• The truth inside anger.

• The courage to risk.

• The voice, returning.

• The claiming of a life

• The feeling of grief.

• And the letting of it all belong.
